LINGAYEN, PANGASINAN, Philippines — The Pangasinan Irrigation Management Office (Pimo) has allayed concerns that water released from Ambuklao and Binga Dams in Benguet province could cause flooding in Pangasinan.
Engineer John Molano, Pimo division manager, said water from the two Cordillera dams flows into the San Roque Dam in San Manuel town, which has yet to open its gates because its water level remains below the spilling elevation of 280 meters above sea level.
“Residents of towns along the Agno River have nothing to worry about because San Roque Dam has not opened its gates,” Molano told the provincial board on Monday.
As of 8 a.m. Tuesday, the water elevation of San Roque Dam stood at 274.97 masl, slightly below its 275-masl level the previous day.
